G5                    C5                 G5                  C5 
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crests are flowing and 
G5              C5          G5              C5 
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountains  and 
D5 
Wander  thru  the forest 
            C5 
Where the trees have leaves of prisims and  break the light in colors 
     D5                G5                C5   G5  C5 
That no-one knows the names of 
    G5                   C5              G5           C5 
And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain 
G5               C5              G5                 C5 
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jeweled water 
    D5 
And if you think I'm ready 
        C5 
You may lead me to the castles where the rivers of our vision 
     D5         G5         C5    G5     C5    D5 
Flow into one another 
G5              C5               G5               C5 
I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters 
        G5           C5             G5              C5 
She may beg she may plead she may argue with her logic 
     D5 
And then she'll know the things I lose 
     C5 
That really have no value in the end she will surely know 
  D5                 G5 
I wasn't born to follow
